I understand that you also thought that money could perhaps be better spent by directing it specifically to child care.

We have a national child care benefit that goes to families, about $3.6 billion, and we have a Canada child tax benefit, which together with the national child benefit amounts to about $9.4 billion. The Canada child tax benefit for a two-child low-income family is about $6,431 a year. You're not suggesting that those moneys would be better spent by targeting them to child care. Are you saying that aspect of it is working well and you're happy with it and you'd like to see more dollars spent in a different way?
